Yes, every book can be beneficial to read. As long as you have the ability to read beyond the words.

For example; I only used to read non-fiction. I thought fiction was just as worthless as prime time sitcoms. A mindless escape from the world. But my wife finally convinced me to read some fiction. After I began reading fiction, it helped me connect lots of the things I’ve been reading about to actual human beings. It definitely helped me become more empathetic to others. It also helped me integrate the information from non-fiction books into my daily life.

Most of the fiction I read is fantasy, sci-fi, and whodunits.
